Following the metaphorical framework of Raimundo Lullo’s medieval treatise *Ars Magna*, our Cabernet Franc is represented by “Magnitudo,” as this Latin term conveys not only greatness, strength, and importance, but also nobility of spirit. Grown in a specific plot of loamy soil, this exceptional Bordeaux variety achieves an excellent and exceptionally rare level of grape ripeness.
